‘Gilmore Girls’ Plans Big Finale

To celebrate the demise of a show I have never watched, the creators of the “Gilmore Girls” are bringing in several bands of whom I have never heard.

“Gilmore Girls” creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is going out on a high note, with her last episode for the WB series filled with her musical favorites. “It might be the coolest thing we’ve ever done,” Sherman-Palladino said of Tuesday’s season finale featuring the “eclectic” musicians she admires and lured to the show. “We’ve put together our own Gilmorepalooza,” added her husband, Daniel Palladino, a fellow executive producer on the series.

The couple said last month they were leaving the comedy-drama after failing to reach agreement on a new studio contract. Dave Rosenthal, a writer and producer on the show, will be in charge when it makes its expected move to the new CW network, the result of a WB-UPN merger. Among the artists featured on the sixth-season finale are Sonic Youth, Sam Phillips, Yo La Tengo, Sparks and Joe Pernice.

I have actually heard of Sonic Youth, although I couldn’t name a song without Googling. I’ve heard of Sam Phillips, too, but am guessing this is not the legendary Sun Records owner who discovered Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis.
